Chapter7
Antonio stared straight at the bracelet on my wrist, his expression dark and terrifying.
“Grace, if you want…”
“Please don’t play the same tricks on Ms. Parrish as you used on another woman. That’s really disgusting.”
Hearing that, I couldn’t help but laugh. I knew Kendall was subtly mocking Antonio.
After all, not long after I left, Antonio sold all the jewelry he had designed for Isabel.
Besides, since then, he had never designed any blue jewelry
series.
How he had specially treated Isabel before, he was now using it
on me.
All Antonio had wanted to say was blocked by Kendall, and he could only look at me helplessly.
“Antonio, I’ve said all I wanted to say to you. That’s all between us.”
After saying that, I took Kendall’s hand and walked towards the banquet hall.
“If you’re not happy, let’s go back Kendall said gently.

I was taken aback for a few seconds. Then I lowered my head and followed him out.
After coming out, I felt a bit embarrassed. “I can go back by myself. You don’t have to leave as well.”
He shrugged with a nonchalant expression. “It’s alright. You’re more important than this banquet.”
I was stunned for a while by his words, but he just laughed, “I’m just teasing you. I’ll go start the car. Wait for me here.”
I nodded and watched Kendall walk towards the parking lot.
I knew Kendall might have some feelings for me, but I didn’t have the courage to fall in love again.
I took a long sigh. Just as I was about to take out my phone to kill the time, I suddenly felt my arm being pulled.
The next second, I was pulled into a warm embrace.
A familiar scent hit me, and I started to struggle.
The hand around my waist held me tightly, the other hand pressing the back of my head against the neck of the man.
My face darkened as I said, “Antonio Kaufman, I can sue you for molestation.”
Antonio seemed to freeze for a moment. Then he sighed and begged, “Just let me hold you for a while, Grace, please…”
I clenched my fist tightly, and I knew I was not able to push him away. Even so, I still reached out and pressed against his chest, trying to distance myself as much as possible.

“Antonio, let me go. We’re already over…”
“Grace, I’ve missed you so much. Every day, I don’t even want to leave the company. As long as I think of you not being at home, I don’t want to go back at all.”
I sneered, “Antonio, back when I was there, you never came home very often either. So, can you stop pretending to love me?”
“Grace…”
“Enough, Let go of me!”
Antonio loosened his grip a bit, and I immediately pushed him
away.
“Antonio, just tell me what you want from me.”
“Grace, I was wrong. Let’s go back together, okay?”
I couldn’t help but laugh with disdain, “Antonio, how could you still dare to say that?”
His eyes flickered with despair, but I didn’t plan to stop there.
I continued, “Antonio, why should I go back to you after you have left me behind like that? You were with Isabel when Lwas attacked by the entire internet. You were also with her when I had no one to turn to.
“To support her career, you even chose to sacrifice mine. Antonio, if you have ever had a little bit of feelings for me, you wouldn’t have asked me to go back with you.”
As I spoke word by word, Antonio’s eyes turned red, and even

his hands werè slightly trembling
He moved and seemed to approach me, but I stepped back abruptly and shouted, “Don’t come near me!”
His expression seemed even more hurt.
He said in a pleading tone, “Grace, give me a chance. I want to make it up to you… I misunderstood my feelings for Isabel. I was confused and thought I was still in love with her.
“But Grace, I’ve already cleared my mind. All those jewelry pieces I designed were not specially for Isabel. I was just too cowardly. I thought I could just throw them there, and you. wouldn’t mind it…
“I’ve already realized who I really loved on the day of the auction. I just didn’t expect you to leave first…”

As he spoke, he took out a box from his pocket, and I was stunned for a moment.
He opened the box, and the blue necklace appeared in front of me again.
I was shocked. I really didn’t expect Antonio to actually buy this necklace back.
After all, it cost a lot more to buy it from another buyer than getting it at the auction price.
“May I put it on for you?”
I pursed my lips and pushed him away.
The priceless necklace fell to the ground, and both Antonio and I were taken aback..
His eyes were filled with disappointment, but he just bent down to pick up the necklace and brushed off the dust.
“Antonio.”
I called out his name, and he looked up at me.
Then I saw his eyes were already moist, as if tears would fall at any moment.
I forced down the strange emotions in my heart and said indifferently, “You don’t have to give me this necklace. I won’t

take it. I don’t want to be someone’s second choice.”
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of a car starting from behind. I knew it was Kendall driving over.

“Antonio, if you really feel even just a little bit of guilt for me, don’t come to me again.”
After saying that, I walked towards the car. Kendall also got out of the car to open the door for me.
Before getting in the car, seemingly inadvertently, Kendall said to me in a raised voice, “Mr. Parrish asked me over for dinner tonight. Seems like I’ll have to trouble you tonight.”
His voice was just loud enough for Antonio, who was not far away, to hear.
I gave Kendall a light smile. “It’s alright.”
After saying that, I got into Kendall’s car and left with him.
Through the rearview mirror, I saw Antonio standing there motionless until I couldn’t see his figure anymore.
I thought I had already been ruthless enough to Antonio, but this time I underestimated his determination.
The next morning, I was woken up by the shouting from downstairs.
went downstairs and saw my father trying to drive Antonio away with a broom.
Antonio seemed to be carrying something in his hands. Even though being hit by my father with a broom, he did not move at

all.
My heart skipped a beat, and I hurried over.
As I got closer, I heard the conversation between the two.
“What are you doing here again? Your appearance will only upset Grace, understand? Don’t you feel ashamed at all?”
“Mr. Parrish, I came today to visit you, and Grace by the way.”
“Get out of here! We don’t need your visit! Grace doesn’t want to see you either. Get lost!”
With that, my father hit Antonio again. Seeing that, I couldn’t help but frown.
Before another blow could land on Antonio, I stepped forward and shouted, “Dad, what are you doing? Stop it, you may injure
him.”
My father snorted coldly, “So what then? Shouldn’t I give him a lesson for what he’s ‘done to you?”
I wanted to say I didn’t care anymore, but Antonio behind me said calmly, “Mr. Parrish, you can hit me as much as you want. I deserve it.”
Hearing that, I felt even more helpless because my father got apparently angrier.
He picked up the broom and was ready to hit Antonio again.
“Dad, calm down! Let me talk to him alone.”
After much persuasion, my father finally left. I rubbed my

forehead and asked helplessly, “Antonio, what do you want?”
He seemed to be checking my house, occasionally glancing up and down suspiciously.
I wanted to ask him what he was doing. Just then, he looked over at me seriously and asked in a slightly trembling voice, “Are you and Kendall together now? Did he sleep at your place?”
I paused for a moment and then asked, “What does it matter to you?”
After saying that, I turned to leave. However, I heard a “thud” behind me, and I turned around in confusion.
The next moment, I was stunned by what I saw.
Antonio, in a neat suit, was kneeling right there with a calm expression.
“Grace, I was wrong before, and I admit it.”
I looked at him in disbelief. “What are you doing? Do you think I’ll forgive you just because you kneel?”
I looked around, hoping no one would see him kneeling there.
Setting aside his identity as a world–class jewelry designer, Antonio, as the only son of the Kaufman family, was already quite a big shot.
Therefore, if someone saw him kneeling there, it would become huge news immediately.
I reached out to pull him up, but he held my hand and stopped
- me.

“I’m not kneeling to ask for your forgiveness. I just want you to give me a chance to make it up to you. Please, Grace…”
After speaking, he gently rubbed my wrist and then released his hand. “Go back, the sun’s scorching outside.”
I was speechless and couldn’t help but think, “So why are you doing this?”
Then I said to him, “Whatever.”
After saying that, I went back into the house.
My
mother worriedly looked outside. “It seems to rain this afternoon. Shouldn’t we stop him?”
I frowned and said coldly, “Don’t worry, Mom. He’ll leave soon.”
I really didn’t believe Antonio could kneel there for a whole day. However, I was wrong again.
I dozed off after painting for a while in the afternoon. When I woke up, there was a storm outside.
I felt worried and rushed to grab an umbrella to head out.
When I got a grip on the handle, it dawned on me that I hadn’t even seen if Antonio was still kneeling there.
I guessed he must have gotten in the car by now.
